Abstract
An EHD energy converter is a high voltage device that converts the kinetic energy of a moving gas stream into electrical energy. This converter has an optimum load requirement for maximum power output. For load resistances larger than this optimum, it behaves as a constant voltage generator. For values smaller, it behaves as a constant current generator. These nonoptimum values are detrimental to the converter.
